So often I have wanted to run away but an invisible hand held me in place. I remained, worked through the issue I wanted to escape and I overcame. In the midst of the struggle, I discovered a wonderful truth: I can’t lose if I don’t give up. Failure is not an option if I don’t quit. I intend to win in life. I have made it this far, and I am going to make it all the way. I believe in me.
- Barbara A. Croce
That which we persist in doing becomes easier - not that the nature of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
